The factoring market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the previous years, there has been significant growth in the size of the factoring market. This market is projected to expand from $5279.73 billion in 2024 to $5733.39 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%.
The growth seen in the historic period is due to robust economic expansion in developing markets, a surge in trading activities, an increase in the number of small to medium-sized businesses, and an increased necessity for working capital.
The factoring market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for robust expansion in the factoring market size in the coming years. A projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% is set to push the market to $7935.05 billion by 2029.
The uplift in the forecast period is due to factors such as increasing globalization and cross-border payments, escalating governmental backing, and a burgeoning transportation sector. The forecast period will also witness significant trends like the rise of cloud-based factoring platforms, the introduction of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, and emphasis on strategic alliances and partnerships.
The growth of the factoring market is expected to get a boost from escalating cross-border trade activities. Cross-border trade comprises all operations related to billing, collection and customer support that the Licensee, its affiliates or related businesses undertake relating to the import, export or transit of capacity or power, as outlined in this license. Factoring provides an immediate cash flow solution for cross-border trade firms. It does this by purchasing these companies' receivables, thereby giving them instant ability to fund their growth and operations. This mechanism also enables them to elevate their borrowing capacity and obtain necessary resources to maintain their competitiveness globally. For example, InterTradeIreland, a UK-based cross-border economic development agency, noted in 2024 that in 2022, trade between Northern Ireland and Ireland cross-border was approximately £10 billion (€12 billion), marking a 15% increase from the preceding year. This upswing in cross-border trade activities is thus contributing to the expansion of the factoring market.
